Description

''LAKEFRONT FARM'' A rare offering on the shores of Quennell Lake, showcasing lake and mountain views. The home features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a spacious view deck overlooking the rolling pastures and shimmering lake. The outbuildings are extensive and well-suited for a variety of agricultural uses, including an 84'x48' production and processing building, a 40' x 60' quonset, an 80' x 60' potato barn, a 122' x 40' shop and storage building, plus two 100'x32' greenhouses. This property has a rich history, having been successfully operated as a potato farm and most recently a licensed cannabis grow facility. The 20 acre fertile floodplain field is made usable with a drainage/pump system (as-is) for water control. Rich organic soil makes this land ideal for high-value, intensive crop production. Includes secure fencing and gates. Water licence to the lake water to be verified by buyer. Property is being sold as-is where-is. Court ordered sale with court approval required.
